Gold Coverage Protection
Protect your gear
Gold Coverage Protection
Gold Coverage goes above and beyond the manufacturer's warranty to protect your gear from unexpected breakdowns, accidental damage from handling and failures. This plan covers your product for one, two, three or up to five years from your date of purchase, costs just pennies per day and gives you a complete "no-worry" solution for protecting your investment.
Gold Coverage Includes:
- Unexpected and unintentional spills, drops and cracks
- Normal wear and tear
- Power surges
- Dust, internal heat and humidity
Other plan features include:
- For products over $200, No Lemon Policy applies. If it fails for the same defect 3 times, it is replaced on the 4th breakdown. (Does not apply to failures due to drops, spills, and cracks)
- For products under $200 experiencing the above failures, a Musician's Friend gift card will be issued for the full price of the product + tax.
- Shipping fees covered if required for repair or replacement
- Plans are transferable in the event merchandise is sold
- Plans are renewable on new gear
*Limitations and exclusions apply. See terms and conditions (Opens in new window) for program details
Term for New Gear begins on date of purchase but does not replace the store return policy or manufacturer coverage.
A super-stable, accurate video master clock.
The TASCAM CG-1800 master clock generator generates NTSC, PAL and HD Tri-level video clock —as well as word clock through BNC, AES/EBU and S/PDIF outputs—ensuring compatibility with any synchronization system.
High Precision Whatever the Temperature
The TASCAM CG-1800 a high-precision OCXO (oven-controlled crystal oscillator) that boasts a clock frequency precision of ±0.01ppm*1 and a frequency stability of ±0.005ppm per day. The jitter management circuit developed by TASCAM reduces external clock jitters, enabling a stable clock signal to video and word outputs, while a glitch-free relock circuit maintains a sustained clock phase even during clock dropouts and recovery, thus effectively preventing noise and skipping from occurring, delivering high reliability and stability to users.
Easy User Maintenance
Regular calibration is always necessary in order to keep sync oscillators in their best condition. The TASCAM CG-1800 is equipped with a self-calibration function, enabling users to perform maintenance through easy operations.
TASCAM’s accumulated experience and know-how in digital synchronization technology through its development of professional equipment has been refined to create products specialized in clock synchronization. The CG-1800 is a lineup of professional-grade master clock generators that was the result of an exhaustive injection of TASCAM technology.
Features
- Internal clock uses a high-precision OCXO (oven-controlled crystal oscillator) for stability
- External input connector supports 10MHz, for creation of systems with even higher precision
- Jitter management circuit provides extraordinarily stable clock
- Glitch-free relocking circuit prevents noise and skipping during clock dropouts and recovery
